Dual Credit Scholarship Program

Idaho National Laboratory's Dual Credit Scholarship Program helps Idaho high school students earn technical certificates or college credits in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) courses.

The Dual Credit Scholarship Program provides Idaho school districts with money to cover the extra fees associated with college-level or technical certificate courses. Students often pay $15 to $65 a credit to enroll in these classes.

School districts can apply for dual credit scholarship funds in December for the upcoming year.

STEM education is a priority for the U.S. Department of Energy, INL and Battelle Energy Alliance, a nonprofit organization that operates the lab for DOE. INL's STEM education initiative provides professional development opportunities and resources for Idaho teachers and encourages students to develop their skills in science, technology, engineering and math.
